Refreshed from its days at the Petersen, ’39 Lincoln Zephyr “Scrape” heads to auction in California

Terry Cook’s Scrape, a long-and-low reinterpretation of a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr, hit the show car circuit in 1998, and quickly attained legendary status. Some equated it with the Hirohata Merc in importance to street rodding, and when Scrape crossed the auction block in August of 2000, it was Robert E. Petersen who spent $250,000 (hammer price) to acquire the custom for the museum that bears his name. The car, then in rather tired condition, sold again in 2013, this time for $66,000, and in June 2017 a newly refreshed Scrape heads to auction once again, part of RM Sotheby’s Santa Monica sale.

Cook, a former Hot Rod Magazine editor, long admired John Tjaarda and Eugene T. “Bob” Gregorie’s design for the Lincoln Zephyr coupe, but believed the sleek two-door could be made even more stylish with a bit of reworking. Such thinking is sacrilege among the Zephyr faithful, and acquiring an example for modification proved more difficult that even Cook imagined. After posing as a classic car collector, he eventually came across a long-neglected Zephyr coupe in a Maine barn. As The Rodder’s Journal relates, the terms of sale dictated that Cook not sell the car to a hot-rodder, and strictly speaking, he didn’t.

The Lincoln’s original V-12 engine and transmission were sold off to help fund the project, and Cook was advised by custom car builder Egon Necelis that the frame and running gear from a Chevrolet station wagon would serve as a good foundation for the project. A donor 1978 Chevy was sourced, and after its body was discarded, the frame was lengthened to correspond with the Zephyr’s wheelbase. Since the Zephyr was unibody constriction, its underside was channeled to fit between the frame rails and sit as low to the ground as possible.

After the media-blasted body was welded to the frame, the project was turned over to Ramsey Mosher of Ram’s Rod Shop in Dover, Delaware. Cook continued his role as designer, while Mosher worked out the details, occasionally incorporating design flourishes of his own. The project would stretch over four years, from 1994 to 1998, ultimately requiring over 4,000 man-hours to complete. Complicating things, Cook wanted the car to remain a secret until its reveal, a goal he somehow managed to achieve.

Though the original donor car was a ’39, Cook preferred the front end of the 1940-’41 models, so Mosher found a way to work this in after locating a suitable donor. To fit on the wider track of the Chevy wagon, the fenders were pushed out by 2.5 inches per side, while the rear fenders were stretched by six inches and the hood was lengthened by another inch. Overall, Scrape measures 17 feet from nose to tail.

The most obvious modifications came in the form of the steeply raked windshield and the eight-inch chop in the Zephyr’s original top. To accommodate this, the doors lost their window frames, and custom glass was cut for all windows, including the rear, which mimics the Zephyr’s original shape but at a greatly reduced height. The windshield is a modified Honda Accord piece, mounted upside down, and Mosher even fashioned hidden door hinges for Scrape’s suicide doors.

A custom hydraulic system originally controlled the car’s ride height, and Cook claimed that Scrape is the first street rod to drop its rockers all the way to the pavement. Initially, Coker wide whites were fitted to steel wheels with reproduction Moon “Ripple Disc” covers, but on the show circuit Cook took to displaying the car with a single 17-inch Niche Bahn wheel mounted on the driver’s side front.

Cook wanted to paint the car black, but friends convinced him that a hot rod should be painted accordingly, so House of Kolor Passionate Pearl Purple was chosen (partially for ease of touch-ups and resprays, and during its time on the show circuit Scrape received a total of three full repaints). Marine speakers were hidden in the grille and rear fenders, while neon lights (all the rage in the 1990s) were placed in the grille, headlamp surrounds and interior. The stock 1939 Zephyr instrument panel was retained, though the speedometer is a custom piece and a hidden camera sends an enhanced rear view to a monitor below the center of the dash.

Given how much work went into the rest of the car, propulsion almost seems like an afterthought. Power comes from a 350-cu.in. Chevy V-8, fed by a single two-barrel carburetor and mated to a Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. The exhaust exits through the rear bumperettes, and it appears as if current owner Barry Weiss added a “flame thrower” exhaust for a bit more show.

Weiss, who purchased the car in 2013, has also repainted it in Cook’s original color choice, black. The windows appear to carry a darker tint, too, and the ripple disc wheel covers have been replaced by Lincoln Zephyr hubcaps, which look a bit more tasteful on the otherwise outlandish custom. Other improvements made under Weiss’s care include installation of a new wiring harness and a modern airbag suspension system, replacing Scrape’s original hydraulics. The interior, however, remains as created under Cook’s guidance.

Thanks to its newly restored status and historical significance, RM Sotheby’s is predicting a selling price between $300,000 and $400,000 when Scrape crosses the block in California. For additional details on the upcoming Santa Monica sale, visit RMSothebys.com.

Update (28.June 2017): Scrape bid to $230,000, but failed to meet its reserve price and was not sold.

Soooooo, who is selling the car? Not clear in your story. I always get a little unnerved when it’s a museum selling off collections, and this seems a pretty appropriate piece for a California car museum to have on display, especially if “Petersen bought it for the museum,” but then sold it? (Museum management etiquette says if you sell a collections object, the proceeds are to be used to acquire other items for the collections, not used for running the museum, new architecture, etc.)

Barry Weiss DID DRIVE that car on more than one episode of ‘Storage Wars’!! On the show, he would usually show up at the storage facility auction in one unusual car or another (either a hot rod/custom, or some luxury car) , but ‘Scrape’ was on screen more than a couple of shows. Did not know that he owned it.

Mark,

Thank you. This is a gorgeous work of art. Your thoughts are similar to mine. Why would a museum would auction off a vehicle like this which has had national exposure is a major mystery. First, we know major bidders have been notified and lined up to drive skyward. Second, these bidders are guided by the added advantage of this purchase being considered a tax deduction. This is not going to indicate anything with the general market. However, it will be interesting how this plays out.

The 1939 Lincoln Zephyr Coupe is arguably the one of the most beautiful automobiles ever designed….in stock form. I just wish that people would leave them that way. Customizing one like this has been done leaves me cold. I’m not being critical of the metal and paint work since it’s obviously very good. It’s just that our family owned one of them when I was a kid in Chicago and it was just fine the way it was built.

In March of 2016, Paul Tuttle’s 1939 Lincoln Zephyr Coupe sold at the Bonhams Auction for $165 including the premium. It was restored but in stock form. That’s the way I like to see them. JMHO, YMMV, etc..

Not sure if they are still available but for years they were selling “Scrape” style fiberglass body kits with the chopped roof, laid back windshield etc. Thus owners of stock examples could restore them and hot rodders could build a similar car without having to deal with rusty old sheetmetal. Everyone ought to be happy with that sort of compromise.

I can understand the Chevrolet V8 in Fords because they are better engines and cost less money to maintain and modify, but to sell off an original V12 that is not easy to come by kind of defeats the purpose.

I wouldn’t say a SBC is a better or cheaper/easier to maintain engine than a Small block Ford. They are very comparable. A Ford engine in a Ford product would be more suitable IMHO. However since the car rolled out of Detroit with a V-12, some exotic,(Ferrari/Lamborghini) V-12 would be very much at home in it’s engine bay. If you could afford to buy this beautiful car, affording that cool of engine and running gear would not be out of the question.

Hello, Glenn here, the Maine guy mentioned in the story where Scrape sat very neglected in my old cow barn for many years. What a life this old Zephyr has led since it escaped a Central Maine junkyard where I bought it for $15 about 1970. These Zephyr 3 window coupes, always very low production, are treasured within the Lincoln Zephyr Owners Club. Unfortunately this one was deemed unrestorable by many Zephyrites who observed it as it languished in my barn. Terry Cook had LZOC Membership credentials as required, and away from Maine it went to become a “Low Buck Driver”. The rest, as they say, is history. I sure was chastised by LZOC Members for letting it go, but as profit and loss goes maybe I made more Return on Investment than subsequent owners. We still shudder when we lose a 3 window. Just recently I saw a TV Show where a real solid California 1937 LZ 3 window was sliced and diced before our eyes. At least they left that beautiful 12 cylinder flathead out front to add to the display. OK, enough moaning from an old stock believer. Scrape may very well be the most famous Zephyr on the planet.

thanks for this background. I think this is an awesome and beautiful custom, and it def looks best in its current black and bagged iteration. However, while I love Rods and Customs, it kills me when a perfectly serviceable donor vehicle is cut up, with virtually nothing left of the original vehicle to really justify cutting it up in the first place. some recent AMBR or Ridler awardees come to mind. I can’t even look at them. But knowing that this car was a basket case to begin with helps ease that pain…traditional hot rodding is taking something that has been cast off and making something out it…sounds like this may fit the bill. in my minds eye, this vintage Lincoln (along with, say, 63-65 Riviera’s) styling cannot really be improved upon.

Though not a hot rod aficionado, I enjoy the art of the “purists” who don’t over-adorn their creations with things like flames, too much pin-striping, etc. “Scrape” reminds me of those glorious cars of the Thirties, especially the Talbot-Lagos, Delages and Delahayes. As a hot rod, it stands with the Hirohata Merc, the Eldorod, et al. It’s a beautiful example of the hot-rodder’s art, actually enhancing the original design. Kudos.

Had the car been built up out of a wreck, I’d not feel so upset.

So sad that he was “posing as a classic car collector” to get a car to modify (my late father-in-law would say “ruin”). Yes, the results (in black) are very lovely, but there are other ways to bend metal. I much prefer what was done to mod the ’31 pickup that is your FOTD.

Yes, definitely black, although having it at ride height doesn’t help the purple picture gain fans. Just right for the 80’s/90’s though. Neon…(forehead smack myself)…yeah, I did that too…

Personally, I tend to lean towards the “originality” crowd, especially with my own older vehicles. The main problem IMO is that someone sees THIS – genuine art, built over years by craftsmen – and wants to do it themselves with horrible results, ruining an otherwise restorable (to original!) vehicle. This one clearly turned out very well, but I wonder how many got destroyed trying to mimic the results. It was nice to hear from Glenn, who seems to hold no grudge even though he got bamboozled. While Scrape helped Zephyrs gain some spotlight, fame works both ways.

This does not have a “Look” that appeals to me. I have seen other Links that have been “Built” and they all have been some of the best looking cars I have ever seen. While a lot of work went into this car, it still leaves a lot to be desired, at least to me, just sayin’.

OldCarMansays:

May 19, 2017 11:51 am

Was this the start of putting the frame on the ground? For some reason, people think that it looks good there, rather than at the design-ride height. Nowadays, all it shows, is that someone spent $3500 on an Air Ride System.
I really appreciate what Terry Cook has done to promote custom car building, particularly with his Atlantique car. I like this car, despite its being chopped disproportionately. He made the statement and it stands on its own. If people don’t like it, they could have bought it and “saved” it from the customizers. It was not historic, just iconic. It still is, but now has some real custom and design history, like it or not.
I also wonder who at the museum made the decision to sell off a Petersen acquisition? If the car was worth $250K, the restoration or preservation would make the car worth more than the $66,000 it brought. Was this the start of their changing focus of the museum in 2013? I never hear about rods, customs, or race car exhibits there anymore… It will be very interesting to see what it really goes for!

i, like everyone else, have an opinion. on how a car loses that much “value”; remember the collector car market crash around ’06-’07, where cars where selling for half(or less) of what the owners paid a few years prior. by ’13, when Barry bought it, the collector car market and the country as well, had just started to recover from the recession. on the guys who think that stock is the only way; i understand that, to a certain extent. take for example the ’71 HemiCuda convertibles; there were 12 built and all 11 remaining cars are restored to stock, including a Canadian car that was basically re-bodied. the only original parts left are the cowl, with the VIN tag, and maybe a couple of other small pieces. the rest is aftermarket or parts from other cars. the guy who owns the transmission from the 12th car, a white one exported to France, wants to build a car around it and call it a HemiCuda. then you have the 8 ’69 Trans Am convertibles, all 8 are returned to factory stock, or being restored. when there are a few hundred or thousand of a model built, do all remaining cars have to be returned to stock? how many are enough? can’t some be updated to be more safe and drivable? can’t some be made into hot rods or customs?
my opinion is, you paid for the car – it’s in your possession to do as you want. the next owner, or caretaker, depending on what you call us, can do what THEY want to do. i don’t think anyone, not the previous owner, not a club of owners of the same model, no one, has a place to tell you what you can do with YOUR car.

As I’ve posted before on this article, the person who built this car did a very skillful job with the metal and paint. It’s obviously very beautiful and shows his great talent. Oh and of course, he had every right to do whatever he wished with the car. That said, I don’t think anyone will be driving it to Walmart anytime soon. So, really, it’s become artwork instead of a useful vehicle. I suspect that it will spend the rest of its days in another museum somewhere.
As for myself, I’ve always had the secret desire to locate one of the remaining Tucker cars and chop the top. If I were the owner of record, I could even remove all of the chrome trim, French in the taillights and drop in a small-block Chevrolet engine. I wonder what posters here would say about that?
To me, this car represents the concept that if some is good, more is better and too much is just right.

For the record, personally, I’m that strange bird that both appreciates classic, beautiful original cars, as well as “Hot Rods”….seriously…….I’m also a dedicated student of the history that Edsel Ford, Bob Gregorie, and Tom Tjaarda created for us all to admire, for the last nearly 90 years. Let’s not forget that Edsel Ford was a “hot rodder” himself, having had modified several cars to his very discerning taste. The classic original Continental was a prime example of his taste for the purity of the period classic European design. That first Continental was literally a modified Zephyr, lower, smoother, a little cleaner……..and a little ahead of its time…..still recognized for its form today.
The original customs that were a product of the youth of the forties and fifties, were created by folks, some very talented, as a means to have a smooth classy design for those not being able to afford a high end Cadillac or Lincoln.
Some of those customs are also considered timeless today, to the point of having dedicated displays at Pebble Beach.
Flowing, uncluttered, and somewhat sinister………to coin a phrase used today, “Bitchin”.
The ’37 LZ television car that Glenn mentions was a creation of Rick Dore – arguably one of the best, and a little more traditional (personally more preferable to my taste) than Cook’s car. Take a look at some of his one-off creations that could stand toe-to-toe with a Delahaye, and not even blink. I’m not minimizing the beauty of those classics, just recognizing the same vision, 80-some years later.
Believe me, I’ve seen some real abortions out there too, leaving me shaking my head and lamenting the ruination of a beautiful original car, and I respect those who look at any modification as such…..its even happened to me with a few of my cars that I let go……..But Glenn, when you decide to turn the page and sell a car, you are really just a temporary caretaker. You had that car, and kept it as you wanted during your time with it. So just relax, understand beauty is in the eye of the beholder, open up your garage and admire your original Zephyr, and maybe sit and let yourself also feast on that sinister, black Weiss (nee Cook) car…just a different interpretation…..and bitchin’ as hell…….thanks for the opportunity.

I’ve seen this car when it was purple, and I think the car looks 10 times better in black. Like others have said, it’s really too bad an original car had to have this fate. That being said, it was well executed style wise, but the original purple color, hoaky neon, and the pedestrian drivetrain take away from what could have been an even better custom. Easy for me to say since I can’t afford it anyway.

I almost never get upset over a modified, chopped, lowered, air bagged, etc. vehicles.

Therefore, I have a great time at car shows, auto museums, cruise ins’ and even auto dismantler junk yards. Almost all of them are works of art [junk yards excepted]. That old saying “it’s all in the eyes of the beholder” is true. There are some folks that just over criticise or too judgemental, or both.
This LX? I think it is absolutely beautiful! What fantastic custom work!! About all I would have done different would have been to keep that old V12, either rebuilt to stock or have had it souped up and dressed up like the old Ford flat heads-chrome and fins all over it!

So can someone please explain how you buy a $250,000 car sit it in a museum for 12-13 years and it becomes “tired ” to the point it needs a restoration and lost almost $200K in value? If that is how the Petersen Museum cares for it’s vehicles there is a major problem there. I restored my car in 2002 and drive it when ever I can and it still looks nearly as good as the day I got it from the shop. I just can’t wrap my head around that.

The older I get, the more cynical I get. Here’s a possible explanation. I have a car I want to sell and I want a huge profit. I have a friend at the Peterson. We get together and rig the auction with two competing bidders–both our guys. We bid the car up to four times its actual value and the Peterson gets it. The friend and I split the profits. Of course you have to have a car for which there are no comps, and you have to have a board of directors that isn’t paying attention or isn’t knowledgeable.
I have NO evidence that any of this was true in this case, but it is a plausible scenario. You can never trust auction results.

I have wanted a Deco Rides Zephyr for 7 years. I talked with Terry Cook who gave me some great advice. “Buy it finished, if you build it, it will cost much more than you plan for”.
First, I’m a girl. And 2nd, I am not a car builder. This car to me is a unique rolling piece of art. I just purchased the first fiberglass car that was molded from Scrape. I bought it from the original owner who unfortunately passed away a few years ago. It’s been sitting in his garage because his wife held on to the car as she had a lot of fun memories and emotional attachment.
I understand the purists and respect their take on cutting up a great car. But the only thing wrong with this car for most, is it’s not sitting in your garage.

I applaud Terry’s vision and the commitment it took to build this thing in the first place. I thought it was a spectacular car when it was first shown, and I still do. As for the purists who think it should have been left alone, there are still many original Zephyr 3Ws around, and nobody stepped up to restore this one before Terry acquired it. The result of his vision was a unique and strikingly original creative expression.

Of course it’s over the top and absurd. It’s impractical to drive when it’s on the ground, and it looks ungainly when it’s raised on its suspension, but so what? It’s great fun to look at it anyway.

I am a docent at the Petersen, and I was very disappointed when Scrape was sold off several years ago along with about 100 other cars. I agree that it showed a shift in focus by the Petersen management, one that I imagine Mr. Petersen would have found disappointing, too.

Here’s a good example of a vehicle that should have been built from scratch, instead of ruining a good, desirable,original car.

Beyond that, I think the chop looks horrible- too short and the laid back windshield looks way out of place on this early of a car. I could go on and on about what I don’t like, but I think you get the idea!

Style is always personal. I am not suggesting putting fins on a Degas or Rembrandt as I tend to be a purist.But this vehicle does have bragging rights as a factor.

Remember, when selling a $250,000 vehicle to a museum, we have to include the terms. This could have been, for example, a “sale” and loan situation wherein the loan was forgiven over time. All tax advantageous and the median income patrons are the ones paying in their tax bill.

The current “recovery” has not been kind to the lower and “middle” income earners, the ones who would probably pay for the entrance to the museum. Further, tax exempts have been hit also. The Diocese of Wilkes-Barre-Scranton has sold a building once used as a nursing home to an American Syrian group.

Never mind the old 3 window. Glenn had a 4 door Lincoln convertible in those days sitting in the field sinking into the ground. As I recall, maybe a motor and top bows but no doors. I was probably 12 the first time I saw it, then, 13, then 14, then 15. I joined the Lincoln club as to meet Glenn’s requirements for it to be sold to someone worthy. Probably the youngest Lincoln member at the time. I remember it being $350 and I’d washed enough cars, shoveled enough snow and mowed enough lawns that I had the cash. My father, then and still a car guy, would have no part of it however. No doors? On a 4 door convertible! I think the original doors eventually did get found but I was off to college, jobs, travel, etc. so it was not to be. Glenn sold the car eventually and I don’t care whether restored original or street rodded…as long as it rose from the ground and is on the road. Glenn, what say you? Where did it go? Was it restored. Do I get a do over? Thanks All. See you on the road, regards, Rick.
